‘Shame on you, David Cameron, shame on you’
Published: 27/06/2012
A HECKLER slammed David Cameron for “crippling the poor in London” as the Prime Minister gave a speech marking the one-month countdown to the Olympics.
And the London 2012 volunteer – dressed in the official purple and orange uniform – shouted Mr Cameron should be ashamed of himself.
The man, who was later ushered out, said: “Shame on you, David Cameron – you are crippling the poor in London. Shame on you ...”
As Mr Cameron gave his speech to 200 official Games Maker volunteers at a uniform warehouse in the capital he pleaded with the protester not to “spoil” the event. He said: “This is not about politics. This is about Britain. It is about volunteering. It is about our country. It is about a successful Olympics.”
